My 135i could keep up on a straight with a stock M2, but I could never lap on a track at the same pace in it!

I've done two separate M2 test drives, it always felt slow. Never had the punch or thrust through rev range of the F80. Now that M2 has all the right bits, going to pull the trigger.

Isn't the M2C with the DCT technically heavier than an M4 with the DCT? This is what I heard a while back.

Thanks for the video. So far i think Schmee has the best video review. I like how he goes into detail about all the little details without trying to make it sound more convoluted that it really is. Also i don't remember those brakes in the rear being on an e92 m3, could somebody clarify? thanks!

So is a slightly used M4 a better car (perhaps not handling wise but overall for what you get in terms of options and power) than an M2C for the same price?

I don’t know where comments like this always come from but the ONLY car company whose factory stock cars are better suited for track duty is Porsche. I work at a shop that works on all brands of cars and does a lot of track prep and setup and in my opinion, out-of-the-box M cars are phenomenal on track when everything is considered. That’s why I’m going for an M2 Competition for myself, putting my money where my mouth is. Going back to the Corvette Z06 as an example you’re even supposed to change the oil to 15w-50 for the track and then change it back to 5w-30 immediately afterwards for street use. Anyone who wondered how a Nissan GTR could beat the 997 Porsche Turbo for “so much less money” when the GTR came out should look at the GTR owners manual to see how much you need to spend every 3,000 miles to change out engine oil, transmission fluid, F&R diff fluids, etc if you do track the car or get it hot. Hint: the OEM transmission fluid by itself was $900 back then and is still around $600 today. Needs to be changed every 3k miles if it gets above 248 degrees F which is almost as easy to exceed as an M2’s brake fluid is to overheat in stock form. Brake fluid that can withstand higher temps also tends to absorb moisture more quickly and should be bled or flushed more often. 95+% of M car buyers don’t want to flush their fluid every 6 months or bleed it after every 1 or 2 track events like you should with a higher end race fluid. For those of us who track or even push the car hard enough to outpace the factory fluid, we can spend literally $30 or less for Motul RBF600 or whatever else is preferred and a max 1 hour labor if a shop is doing the flush. If you’re getting the brakes that hot, you should also invest in up-rated pads since all street pads are prone to leaving deposits on rotors when they get too hot.

I find the .co.za review about the putting down the power the most informative so far instead of 'it has moaaarRRR POOWWAAAHHH' type reviews we are getting.
They go onto say they prefer the delivery of the OG M2/LCi Sort of what I feared for the new car but overall reviews are positive overwhelmingly. |

Probably sad that I read and watched 95% of them last night. What I got is that they made a great car even better. Even though the reviews are very positive, they complain about exhaust note (as expected) and I didn't quite read that this is a must have. Was a little disappointed about that. I look forward to seeing and driving one and make up my own mind I suppose.
